Council Member Joseph asks what audit tools the agencies and IRC use. Ali says the audit involved direct engagement with agencies reviewing every policy and protocol related to federal immigration enforcement interactions.

Rita C. Joseph

What type of audit tools do the agencies include in the IRC utilize?

Rita C. Joseph

What kind of tools do you use?

Faiza Ali

So the part of our audit, and this is included in our findings, is

Faiza Ali

engaging directly with the agencies who are reviewing every policy and protocol as it relates to any interaction that they have with federal immigration enforcement.

Faiza Ali

Some of those are agencies that are focused on immigration enforcement, like ICE, and then other agencies that are nontraditional.

Faiza Ali

And so what we're trying to do is make sure that agencies report every immigration agency interaction that they have.

Faiza Ali

And then we take it from there.

Rita C. Joseph

Thank you.
